Biggest trout was 3lb back to lb but a nice morn fishing and its local to me only 10min down the road.I actually caught a pike well into double figure's a week ago on the same lake while trolling for trout,plenty big trout in it.Have you ever fished for pike around westmeath,there is plenty of small pike lakes hidden away that not many fish,at least 5 around me alone with good pike in them.

No micheal dont fly fish,would'nt have the patience to sit in one spot for too long and its also nice when trolling around the lake shore you never know what you see.There is trout as big as 12lb in lough lene,i caught one almost 6lb last year,also a nice lake to swim.

Good going fatman, and nice bit of fishig macker.

 

Fatman did you ever catch large pike from lean, fished it a hole load of years ago and have some one pike form it, just wondering if they are still there.

There was a 9lb trout caught on lene yesterday by a young lad spinning.He also had 4 other trout up to 4lb while trolling a lene minnow.The lake is fishing really well at the moment.
